Updated:

Alan Dix is an HCI researcher and author on creativity applied to design. His work on convergent thinking — filtering ideas, evaluating alternatives, and building domain understanding — complements divergent ideation in design processes.

His writings on creativity in HCI are a direct reference for analytical thinking in UX: not as the opposite of creativity, but as the part that makes ideas actionable.
